I think we all missed the birthday of Origami. It was 1 year old yesterday if you go by the date of the official press release from Microsoft. 

Happy Birthday Origami

Here’s the Origamiportal post following the press release. One year on and there’s nearly 50 ultra mobile devices available. Some are derived from the Origami project and others have a different heritage, but all have one thing in common. They’re Ultra Mobile! There’s a great comment on the Engadget story of the day:

“I say it again: This device is 100% guaranteed chick-repellent material. A toy for people who can’t find the world around them just quite fascinating enough. Get a laptop and do some work. Use a smart-fon if you have to, but this gizmodo-no should stay in a hospital. and it should stay made by Fujitsu.”

Each to their own I say!
